I had become depressed, to the point of almost not functioning
as a human. I didn't like, nor did I even know, the person staring back
at me when I looked into the mirror. So, by the end of Jan. 2001, I went
to my family doctor and asked for his help. He put me on some medication
and gave me some common sense advice..."don't eat anything sweet, fried
or that you know you shouldn't!" Well, he was right. I took his advice
and after 1 month, had lost 14 pounds. Now, in my second month, I realize
that I am not the only one who suffers from this madness. That is why I
have created this website, so that others can know that they are not alone.
It was not only the looking fat that was the problem,
it was the insecure feelings and unworthiness and helplessness, that made
being overweight so difficult. I could not keep up with my children and
could not get through a day without having to take a nap. Life was just
not fun anymore. The greatest part of it so far, is that I have my self
confidence back. I have that thrive to strive again. I am ready to just
go go go! So, know you know about me and where I am now, in my life. Although
I have only just begun, I am on my way to being a better me. And even though
I am still big now, I am feeling sexy, attractive and bubbly again. Once
again, I am finding the person inside, who got lost in the process. That
is such a wonderful feeling and I am happy to be able to share this with
you.

From the time I was very young, as a child, I had a weight problem. I went
through most of my school years being teased, being the victim of childrens
pranks and made to be felt like an outcast. When I was 14, I lost 36 pounds.
Things started to change for me. Suddenly boys thought I was pretty and
girls were actually jealous. Unfortunately, that didn't
last and since then, I have gone from one extreme to another with my weight.
The past 3 years being the worst, and being at my very biggest ever, I had
become unhealthy, had no energy, and in constant pain. I made a decision
to do something about my weight. January 2001, I promised myself that I
would lose as much as I could and keep going until I was happy with myself.
